Brinjal or Egg plant is a common vegetable which can be made into dry dish or gravy type and can be served with rice or even with our bread varieties. In USA I kept searching for new recipes when we buy brinjal as its too bog to be finished in one type curry for two people. I used to make our authentic kerala recipes as well as north indian types using brinjal . Its only recently that I saw the normal small cute purple colored ones in Kerala and I wanted to try our the dry dish with it. This is my mom's special preparation which I tried out. It is a quick to make dish and goes well with rice as well as with chappathy.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
- Brinjal - 5 small ones sliced lengthwise
- Onions- 2 small ones sliced lengthwise
- Green chillies- 2 slit lengthwise
- Turmeric powder- 1/4 tablespoon
- Red chilly powder- 2 tablespoons
- Salt as needed
- Curry leaves - 5
How to Prepare:
Step 1: Marinate the cut brinjals with salt, red chilly powder and turmeric powder , sprinkle some water on top and close with lid . Add curry leaves too to the marinade. This is to prevent browning of the cut pieces.
Step 2: Heat oil in a pan and saute the onions till it turns transparent.
Step 3: Add the marintade brinjal pieces and mix well. Close with lid and allow to cook till it becomes dry .
Step 4: Add the slit green chillies and mix well.
Step 5: serve hot with chappathys or with rice.
